Perhaps because the expression in question is not just obscure, but is rather unnatural. Given the preceding .PS A: circle "A" what is the intent of B: A left IOW, to which *object* is the label `B' to refer? Since, this is followed by circle "B" at B .PE presumably the intention is to create a reference to a location, rather than to an object, but surely the more natural way to express this is .PS A: circle "A" B: circle "B" at A.w .PE which causes B to refer to the intended location, i.e. the centre of the circle object `B', which becomes coincident with the location of the leftmost extremity of the circle object `A'. Certainly, this is the way I would write it, and I suspect that most other regular pic users would do likewise, so it is unlikely that the anomalous behaviour would have been discovered in normal usage. > Feel free to remove it completely in case it is > the most convenient solution. FWIW, I believe that the usage B: A left and also B: A upper left are erroneous; IMO, both should be rejected. Regards, Keith.
